Tres returned to the club during the summer of 2009 after spending the entire 2008/09 season on loan.

He had spells with Charlton and Millwall, but returned to Leeds in the summer of 2009, although opportunities still proved limited.

He scored his first goal in a Leeds shirt for 18 months when he netted in the JPT win against Darlington in October 2009, and followed that with goals against Bristol Rovers and Yeovil. He figured sporadically from the bench, but was dismissed at Norwich in March after coming on as a sub and failed to make another appearance as the club won promotion.

A tall powerfully built striker, he can cause defenders problems, especially in the air where his height (6ft 1in) and strength can be a telling factor.

His partnership with Jermaine Beckford proved to be a successful one particularly in the first quarter of the 2007/08 season, and Kandol's overall form during the campaign resulted in his first call-up to the Congolese national side in March 2008.

He was brought to Elland Road by former manager Dennis Wise when he signed on loan from Barnet in December 2006 before making his move permanent in January 2007.
